Jackson Monument
This monument to Thomas J. (“Stonewall”) Jackson, the sculpture for which is the work of F. William Sievers, shows him mounted on “Sorrel,” facing north, because he so resolutely opposed the Northern army. Jackson, whose brilliant strategy is studied today by soldiers the world over, was a stern, Cromwellian type of commander in strange contrast to the dashing Stuart. Lee called him his “right arm,” and no one has ever been able to estimate the severity of the blow his death dealt the Southern cause. ¶ Continue westward on Monument to Belmont.
